I saved the entire sect by playing idly by letting things fall apart.

Qin Fanfan: "..."

Hearing Xie Chuxue say "can't last long," he knew it couldn't be Zhou Xingyun. Zhou Xingyun's character was stable, and even if he was unwilling, it was in accordance with the way of the ancestors, so he would take responsibility.

Therefore, it can be concluded that the one who usurped the throne was the one who caused the disturbance.

Ye Qiao is undoubtedly the most troublesome member of the Changming Sect. She has broken into the forbidden areas of the Five Sects and raided the dungeons of the Eight Great Families. What is there that she wouldn't dare to do?

What puzzled Qin Fanfan was...

If the sect leader position changes, no matter how the rotation occurs, it shouldn't be Ye Qiao's turn, right?

What are those elders doing?

In terms of seniority, it should be Elder Zhao.

Although Qin Fanfan was puzzled, he was too lazy to investigate further. He waved his hand, signaling Xie Chuxue to get lost. With Yunhen around, Xie Chuxue could leave. Right now, the Demon Lord was the most aggrieved one. He had frequently targeted them before, causing them to fight cautiously, fearing that they might accidentally provoke the Sword Inquiry Sect Master to break through and ascend.

Now, it's the Demon Lord's turn to be constrained.

Feng Shui turns.

The Demon Lord was deeply resentful and wished he could start a massacre on the spot. He knew that these people were waiting for him to do so.

He could only swallow his anger and thought that once the Sword Inquiry Sect Master left, he would definitely lead the Demon Clan to slaughter these sects!

Regardless of whether the other party succeeds or fails in their ascension, once they enter the Ascension Land and become a proper immortal, they are no longer allowed to interfere in the affairs of the cultivation world.

"Once that old scoundrel leaves, I'll storm your sect! Let's see who dares to be insolent in front of me again." The Demon Lord's eyes revealed a hint of killing intent.

"Why bother with all that nonsense? Do you think you can get away now?" Qin Fanfan looked at him with a half-smile.

The Demon Lord nearly flew into a rage, but of course he could escape!

He didn't leave because of that idiot Seventh Elder, who said that by opening the Heavenly Gate, he could capture Ye Qiao in one fell swoop and achieve his goal as long as Ye Qiao dared to come out of the secret realm.

They talked a good game, but now the Qing Dynasty is almost over, and where is Ye Qiaoren?

So many days have passed!

We didn't see a single hair.

Yunhen altered the landscape, and with the array at its center, he raised his hand, causing countless strange lights to appear in the sky. With him present, Xie Chuxue's departure did not affect anything.

The demons charged wildly, trying to break through the formation. The sect leader of Chengfeng Sect couldn't help but snort coldly, his combined aura tilting outwards. Then he took out a jade ruyi and coldly smashed it down, blasting the demons into clouds of black mist.

The magical and physical attacks converged, with all their might aimed at forcibly suppressing the Demon Lord's realm.

They didn't care about anything else at the moment. Since their righteous path had lost a tribulation cultivator, the demons wouldn't be allowed to stay either.

Going to the Land of Ascension together would be a good option for the two of them.

……

Unlike the peaceful battle between a group of elderly demons, the Changming Sect was in complete chaos.

The disciples of the Sword Inquiry Sect were stunned to find their own elder aiding and abetting evil. The Sword Inquiry Sect, being a major sect of sword cultivators with high cultivation levels, killed with the ease of slicing vegetables. Zhu You hurriedly rescued a disciple of the Changming Sect, using the Luoshui Sword to block his blade, and asked in confusion, "Elder Qiu, why?"

Duan Hengdao also wanted to ask why.

Damn it, why is it that the Moon Purity Sect, which has the lowest moral standards, has no traitors?

On the contrary, the elders from Chengfeng Sect and Wenjian Sect were the ones who got involved the most.

Moreover, those elders were well-versed in their own fighting styles and showed no mercy whatsoever. At first, Duan Hengdao could still feel sentimental and question the elders about why they had betrayed them. But after Elder Sun held his blade to his waist and swung his scythe in his right hand, nearly slicing off his head, Duan Hengdao immediately lost all interest in asking those questions.

Zhu You hasn't experienced the harsh realities of society and doesn't understand that when those elders become ruthless, they won't treat you as disciples. After all, even direct disciples have their own teachers who bring them in.

The other elders, on the other hand, had little emotional connection to each other.

If I'm going to kill you, I'll kill you. Who's going to waste words with you?

Zhu You wanted to ask more, but Elder Qiu was already impatient. His eyes turned cold, and he pressed down hard with his sword, throwing her three meters away. He said coldly, "Little You, I've watched you grow up. Now that we've known each other, I advise you not to oppose us."

"No one will save you now. Why bother getting involved in the Changming Sect's mess?"

"Elder," Zhu You asked, biting her lip, unwilling to give up, "Is becoming an immortal really that important?"

After she finished speaking, she realized she had asked a pretty stupid question.

It is indeed very important.

Throughout history, cultivators have ascended to immortality in order to attain the Dao and become immortals.

"At your age, you can already reach the Nascent Soul stage or even the Divine Transformation stage. You little devils who are favored by Heaven naturally do not understand our suffering!" he roared.

As the domineering sword pierced through layers of magical defenses and struck her solidly, Zhu You winced in pain, gripped the sword tightly, suppressed her emotions, and fought back fiercely.

As countless Taoist priests poured in, mixed with a few demons, various forces came to get involved. Why? Because the Changming Sect was currently in chaos; the direct descendants of the five main sects were all present, and the eight major families remained as cowardly as ever. But weren't elders from other sects also joining in one after another?

Their levels of understanding are getting higher and higher.

The stages of transformation are different, from Nascent Soul to Void Refinement.

Chaos reigned throughout the sect. Ye Qiao threw down her domain with a backhand motion, and a bright green light spread out, with vines winding upwards and the Myriad Life Precision precisely binding those cultivators with lower cultivation levels.

She was at the Tribulation Transcending Realm. Apart from those at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm who could evade her with their superior skills, the cultivators and Buddhist practitioners at the late Nascent Soul Realm were all bound like dumplings and unable to move.

Ye Qiao looked at it and chuckled twice: "Go have fun."

……

Miao Miao was trapped inside Kunlun Peak and could not get out. She clutched her chest. Although she had been forcibly disconnected from the spiritual artifact, she could still vaguely sense that the Pure World Lotus had been taken out and used. She frowned. The Pure World Lotus was very strong and had many defensive methods.

The Seventh Elder is at the peak of the Integration Realm; apart from those undergoing tribulation, who can do anything to him?

Under what circumstances would the Pure Lotus be used?

Miao Miao racked her brains but couldn't figure it out, and she had no idea what was going on in the outside world.

That old bastard Seventh Elder has no martial ethics; he tied her up and took her hostage.

Actually, when it comes to hostages...

Why not tie down those close associates?

good question.

The Seventh Elder also wanted to tie them up, but he just didn't have the chance.

His plans repeatedly failed, and he was so angry he wanted to kill those people on the spot.

But if so many direct disciples are killed in one slap, can other aristocratic families do the same?

Having a powerful backer in the cultivation world makes all the difference. For example, Lu Xiaoming, whose group of disciples somehow found a young city lord. While Xue Yumingxuan and Mu Chongxi were imprisoned, Zhou Xingyun leisurely emerged from the Demon Clan.

His cultivation level stabilized at the Nascent Soul stage.

No one would stop him from entering the sect, but he came anyway, and even had Lu Xiaoming, the eight great families, and other forces gathered together, inviting a large number of Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators to enter the sect together.

They euphemistically called it inviting people to come and have some fun at Changming Sect.

—What the hell are you doing?

Zhou Xingyun summoned so many people, clearly to guard against the Seventh Elder using them as hostages or killing them outright in order to eliminate any future threats.

He was furious, his breath dripping with rage, yet he could only watch helplessly.

So far, the Seventh Elder only wants to maintain stability, not to make an enemy of the entire cultivation world.

Ye Qiao had not yet been captured, so he could not rush into battle and prepared to wait until Ye Qiao came out of the secret realm.

Once he captures her, the Seventh Elder can kill all those who stand in his way, then ascend to heaven. What karma? It was severed long before his ascension. What can even the Heavenly Dao do to him?

Miao Miao couldn't understand why they didn't arrest the people from Changming Sect but arrested her instead. Si Miaoyan, however, understood perfectly: the Seventh Elder dared not touch those disciples backed by powerful families, but he dared to touch the people from Biyue Sect.

After all, although the direct disciples are all protected animals, alchemists have low combat power and rely entirely on their intricate connections with various powerful families, which makes it impossible for any sect in the entire cultivation world to touch the Azure Water Sect.

Even if the Seventh Elder can't touch the entire sect, those aristocratic families still won't object if he touches one of his disciples.

"Just wait for Miaomiao," Simiao said calmly, telling her not to rush.

Miao Miao then assumed that her senior sister had some brilliant plan.

Unexpectedly, the senior sister pondered for a long time before finally uttering a sentence.

"Ye Qiao will save you."
